| 10:01 | <alkisg> !learn local-disks as `On fat clients, only sudoers have access to local disks. One way to give access to non sudoers, is to put in lts.conf: RCFILE_01="mkdir -p /media/local_disk && mount /dev/sda1 /media/local_disk"`
| |
| 10:01 | <ltsp> The operation succeeded.

| 10:36 | <ogra_> work_alkisg, why dont you just drop a NOPASSWD entry in the /etc/sudoers.d dir ?
| |
| 10:36 | <work_alkisg> ogra_: because e.g. I don't want them to erase C:\Windows, I just want to give them access to D:\
| |
| 10:36 | I don't want them to be sudoers...
| |
| 10:36 | <ogra_> ah
| |
| 10:37 | they dont need to be sudoers
| |
| 10:37 | <work_alkisg> How so?
| |
| 10:37 | <ogra_> all users are in plugdev ...
| |
| 10:37 | <work_alkisg> Internal disks aren't in the plugdev group
| |
| 10:37 | <ogra_> so you give NOPASSWD access to the plugdev group
| |
| 10:38 | <work_alkisg> internal disks are owned by root:disk
| |
| 10:38 | <ogra_> ah, yeah, you dont want users to be in the disk group
| |
| 10:39 | you could ship a udev rule alongside indeed
| |
| 10:39 | <work_alkisg> It's configurable by policykit
| |
| 10:39 | <ogra_> that too
| |
| 10:39 | <work_alkisg> But with just an RCFILE directive, one can select which partition he wants too... and disallow other users from unmounting it, etc etc
| |
| 10:40 | <ogra_> yeah
| |
| 10:40 | <work_alkisg> Anyways, gotta go, cheers + bbl
| |
| 10:40 | <ogra_> just pretty complex

| |
| 10:48 | <Hyperbyte> A bit offtopic, but anyone here who is experienced with building servers (hardware-wise)?
| |
| 10:49 | I've never built a server with enterprise class hardware and I'm wondering if someone could give me some feedback on my hardware list/specs...

| 12:54 | <jammcq> Hyperbyte: I learned a long time ago to save myself from frustration and just go with a good solid name brand server. I've been buying Dell servers and been VERY happy with them
| |
| 12:58 | <ogra_> ++
| |
| 13:00 | <stgraber> I personally have a preference for HP servers as their RAID hardware tends to have much better Linux support than DELL's (I had to hand-patch some kernels to deal with newgen PERCs). And the entry level machines like a DL180 can be found < 2000$ (can go much higher depending on CPU/RAM/storage obviously)
| |
| 13:00 | <jammcq> HP, Dell, IBM... they're all pretty good
| |
| 13:01 | but cobbling together a server is fun when you are young, but after you've done it a few times, it's just a pain
| |
| 13:05 | khildin has left IRC (khildin!~khildin@ip-83-134-213-48.dsl.scarlet.be, Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | |
| 13:07 | <stgraber> though to be fair SuperMicro make extremely good machines and pretty cheap. I've got friends that have been buying tons of those lately, though they order pre-assembled units (which is still much cheaper than some of the other big brands)
| |
| 13:07 | <jammcq> pre-assembled is the key
| |
| 13:07 | everything fits

| 13:09 | <Hyperbyte> jammcq, yeah I know. ;-)
| |
| 13:10 | I've seen some pre-assembled servers, those are pretty nice
| |
| 13:10 | It's like you said though... building one yourself is fun when you haven't done it before. :)
| |
| 13:11 | <jammcq> Hyperbyte: what raid controller would you use?
| |
| 13:11 | <Hyperbyte> Onboard one
| |
| 13:11 | <jammcq> what is it?
| |
| 13:11 | is it any good?
| |
| 13:12 | how about power supplies? dual ?
| |
| 13:12 | are the disks hot-swappable ?
| |
| 13:12 | maybe none of that is important to you
| |
| 13:12 | <Hyperbyte> Not sure about onboard RAID, motherboard specs: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6100/SR56x0/H8DG6-F.cfm
| |
| 13:12 | <jammcq> but it sure is nice to not have to shutdown to replace a power supply, hard disk, fan,...
| |
| 13:12 | cuz all of those things fail
| |
| 13:13 | <Hyperbyte> Yeah, those last points are very important actually. I need this thing running without interruptions really. :) Fans are hotswappable, so are power supplies (dual) and so are all harddisks (RAID)
| |
| 13:13 | <jammcq> does the case include a hot swap disk cage?
| |
| 13:13 | <Hyperbyte> Yep.
| |
| 13:14 | <jammcq> integrated matrox video... wow, haven't seen that name in years
| |
| 13:14 | <Hyperbyte> Hehe
| |
| 13:15 | <jammcq> ah, includes IPMI, that's very handy
| |
| 13:15 | I can show you how to talk to it remotely
| |
| 13:15 | <Hyperbyte> This is the case, by the way: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/745/SC745TQ-R1200.cfm
| |
| 13:16 | <jammcq> wow, i've got one sitting about 3 feet from me that looks very much like that
| |
| 13:16 | <Hyperbyte> By the way, speaking of preassembled vs self-built... one of the things I like about this case + motherboard, is that they were designed for eachother.
| |
| 13:16 | <jammcq> that helps
| |
| 13:16 | when I built mine, I used an Intel motherboard
| |
| 13:16 | that's where the trouble started
| |
| 13:17 | things didn't line up properly
| |
| 13:17 | fans weren't right
| |
| 13:17 | video card didn't fit
| |
| 13:17 | khildin has joined IRC (khildin!~khildin@ip-83-134-213-112.dsl.scarlet.be) | |
| 13:18 | <Hyperbyte> With the motherboard specifications, it does a few case recommendations, of cases that are optimized for the board. I picked one of those.

| |
| 13:51 | Although the service is configured and running on port 67, it doesn't serve addresses, although the configuration is unchanged
| |

| |
| 14:50 | <unkmar> vagrantc: I installed gnome3 and left lxde in there. Added google chrome, then added icedove. At that point it screaches about jre, mono, and a huge list of stuff.
| |
| 14:51 | <vagrantc> unkmar: what apt repositories are you using?
| |
| 14:51 | unkmar: and what do you mean about screaches?
| |
| 14:53 | <unkmar> http://pastebin.com/0L7Bqtbu
| |
| 14:55 | <vagrantc> unkmar: i don't see any error there ... if you could cut-and-paste exactly what's on the screen, that would be helpful
| |
| 14:56 | unkmar: but sounds like you're using a third party repository ... all bets are off there
| |
| 14:56 | <unkmar> I can't. I'm doing a fresh install. I want to. So that I get the install, configure process documented and memorized. i did not use 3rd party for icedove. Though adding the 3rd party for google chrome possibly made it mad.
| |
| 14:58 | I'll likely hit the same problem again during the process so. Just hold tight. :)
| |
| 14:58 | <vagrantc> yeah, third party repositories, while not inherrantly problematic, often don't follow the packaging guidelines that make debian work
| |
| 14:58 | won't be around much today, but good luck
| |
| 14:59 | <unkmar> I'll be doing the install process reversed. with the google chrome going last.
| |
| 15:06 | <vagrantc> keep a log of your exact errors...
| |
| 15:15 | <unkmar> I blinked during tasksel. Forgot to remove Graphical desktop for the server. That would take a why to download. :(

| 15:19 | <ltspuser_40> Hi
| |
| 15:19 | I'm using a rdesktop connection to a linux server
| |
| 15:19 | and I'm using sshfs to mount a pen drive
| |
| 15:19 | from the terminal to the server
| |
| 15:20 | the problem is when I edit some file of the pen, the changes are not saved...
| |
| 15:21 | is there any way to mount an usb pen using udev on the terminal without cache?
| |
| 15:23 | <andygraybeal> ltspuser_40, i know that the FUSE system clears it's cache like every 2 seconds or something
| |
| 15:23 | but your using sshfs ... so i dunno :) i'll sit back and wait for an answer.
| |
| 15:24 | <vagrantc> unkmar: i've found it's often faster to reinstall than wait for desktop installs to finish
| |
| 15:25 | <ltspuser_40> is there any way using FUSE??
| |
| 15:25 | if you could explain...
| |
| 15:25 | <vagrantc> ltspuser_40: there was some support for that built in to the rdesktop scripts... are you using that, or something else?
| |
| 15:29 | <ltspuser_40> to mount I'm using ltspfs_mount...
| |
| 15:29 | command

| 15:30 | if you can provide me a way to mount usb drives
| |
| 15:30 | <vagrantc> ltspuser_40: you're doing it manually?
| |
| 15:31 | <unkmar> vagrantc: that's what I did and install is complete. Now for the quick little ltsp install.
| |
| 15:34 | <ltspuser_40> yes...
| |
| 15:34 | <vagrantc> unkmar: are you using a caching proxy for all this? speeds up reinstalls tremendously...
| |
| 15:34 | ltspuser_40: there's some way to do it from the code, but i haven't done so myself
| |
| 15:34 | <ltspuser_40> I have udev rules to detect the insertion of the usb and then I run a script that execute the command ltspfs_mount
| |
| 15:34 | <unkmar> that would require me to set one up. Thankfully I have 50+ megabit connection.
| |
| 15:35 | <vagrantc> ltspuser_40: essentially, it mounts a local ltspfs mount as root, and then passes /media/root as a drive to rdesktop...
| |
| 15:35 | unkmar: ah, that would probably make it barely worth it, yes. :)
| |
| 15:35 | <ltspuser_40> it mount on /var/run/drives...
| |
| 15:35 | <unkmar> the pfsense box may be caching some of it. though i doubt it.

| 16:12 | <unkmar> that's it. I missed the ltsp-chroot update-kernels.
| |
| 16:14 | <vagrantc> i.e. configure it, run the binary that generates the pxelinux configuration, copy the kernel+initramfs+pxelinux stuff over to the tftp dir

| 16:43 | <workingcats> lifeboy, i was wondering the same tbh..
| |
| 16:44 | maybe there is a way to force the server to ignore this security thing? i assume you only run dhcpd on your internal net anyways (bad advice, a huge share of attacks come from the inside, but it's worth a try to confirm whether this is the problem)
| |
| 16:44 | <lifeboy> I'll be back later, just need to attend to something ... if you notice anything else, or find a way to tell dhcpd to ignore the client id, pls post it.

| 20:33 | <alkisg> lifeboy: did you rebuild your chroot?
| |
| 20:34 | <lifeboy> no, I didn't. I don't think this is an LTSP issue per se, but rather a dhcpd issue, or am I wrong?
| |
| 20:35 | <alkisg> You're probably wrong, it's an udhcpc issue
| |
| 20:35 | That's in the client initramfs
| |
| 20:35 | It had an ancient version there, and I filed a bug in ubuntu to get it in sync with debian, a couple of years ago...
| |
| 20:36 | The newer dhcpd is more strict than the old one, but it's still a client problem and not a server problem
| |
| 20:36 | <unkmar> * random gibbersh. We don't need persistence. We changed our mind. We need persistance.
| |
| 20:37 | so. How about some network share based persistance?
| |
| 20:37 | <lifeboy> ok, but when the client starts up in PXE, it needs an ip address before anything else can happend. tftp is not even connected to yet. Or am I misunderstanding this?
| |
| 20:37 | <alkisg> lifeboy: there are 2 dhcp requests when the client boots
| |
| 20:37 | One, from the NIC BIOS, its PXE stack
| |
| 20:37 | Then pxelinux.0 is loaded, then vmlinuz and initrd are loaded
| |
| 20:38 | Then, there's a second dhcp request by udhcpc
| |
| 20:38 | udhcpc had a problem there, it sent an empty identifier
| |
| 20:38 | Then, if that succeeds, nbd is mounted and the real boot starts
| |
| 20:39 | <lifeboy> This problem occurs at the first request. The client never gets and ip address, so the boot process stop before LTSP is involved.
| |
| 20:39 | <alkisg> So... do you see things like "loading pxelinux.0" etc? Or you think the problem is in the first dhcp request?
| |
| 20:39 | <lifeboy> sorry... "never gets an ip address"
| |
| 20:39 | <alkisg> So what's the last lines in the client screen?
| |
| 20:39 | Note that pxelinux.0 now doesn't display anything if it sees "quiet" in the kernel command line...
| |
| 20:40 | <lifeboy> no, it doesn't get to "loading pxelinux.0", its still in the PXE code part where the spinning \ | / is shown and then ....
| |
| 20:40 | <alkisg> lifeboy: ah, btw, your router is wrong there in your config, isn't it?
| |
| 20:40 | You can't have a gateway outside of your subnet...
| |
| 20:41 | option routers 192.168.1.3;
| |
| 20:41 | (that's the gateway for the clients, afaik... I haven't used dhcpd in years)
| |
| 20:42 | Also, I remember that you were not supposed to specify INTERFACES in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server , but let dhcpd figure it out from the ethX ip
| |
| 20:43 | <lifeboy> hmmm... it works though (when the dhcp was still working)...
| |
| 20:43 | but thinking about it, yes, it shouldn't be like that
| |
| 20:43 | <alkisg> The newer version might be more strict, so why not put it right to get it out of the "possible problems" list...
| |
| 20:44 | <lifeboy> I'll do that and let's see what happens.
| |
| 20:44 | <alkisg> Btw, why are you saying that you have dhcpd vs 2.4.2? `apt-cache policy isc-dhcp-server` says "4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5.6" here...
| |
| 20:45 | <lifeboy> I did "dhcpd --version" to get that
| |
| 20:47 | oh, my bad. I looked up the release notes on the isc website and the notes under 2.4.2 say that the code has been made more strict. But yes, "dhcpd --version" says "isc-dhcpd-4.1-ESV-R4"

| |
| 20:50 | <alkisg> unkmar: what do you mean by persistance? /home persistance? or / persistance, for separate clients?
| |
| 20:51 | <unkmar> looks like I just need to export /home as (rw) and setup separate users.
| |
| 20:51 | <alkisg> Why, the default sshfs isn't good enough?
| |
| 20:51 | <unkmar> is there something like an nfshome= like there is nfsroot= ?
| |
| 20:52 | alkisg: okay, that's good, how do I go about that??
| |
| 20:52 | alkisg: that's going to be a FUSE thing. right?
| |
| 20:52 | <alkisg> By default, ltsp clients get /home/username with sshfs, for fats + localapps
| |
| 20:52 | You're using debian, right? So you shouldn't need to do anything...
| |
| 20:53 | And of course, true thin clients don't need it, as processes are on the server, accessing /home there directly
| |
| 20:53 | <unkmar> Okay, then I still missing something. because everytime I reboot, all my settings are lost.
| |
| 20:54 | *I am
| |

| |
| 20:56 | <unkmar> I installed lxde. You tell me or remind me how to find out. Cause my brain just went foggy.

| |
| 20:57 | <unkmar> booting a client now.
| |
| 20:57 | <lifeboy> alkisg: I changed the config of the router and restarted the service, but the same error persists. "dhcpd: Dropped DHCPv4 packet with zero-length client-id". This seems to be intentional with isc-dhcp-server now, so unless there's something magic that can be done to convince my thin clients that their PXE bootROMs have to send at least client ids with length 2, I will have to switch to some other DHCP server, since the thin clients are
| |
| 20:57 | all identical. :-(
| |
| 20:58 | <alkisg> lifeboy: can you try with ipxe?
| |
| 20:58 | !ipxe
| |
| 20:58 | <ltsp> ipxe: iPXE is the successor to the etherboot/gPXE project, and can be used to netboot clients that don't have a NIC ROM with a PXE stack. To add it to grub, see !grub-ipxe. To add it to the Windows boot loader, see !win32-loader. To download floppy, CD or USB images, visit http://ipxe.org or install the ipxe package.
| |
| 20:58 | <alkisg> If it works with ipxe, then yeah, switch to another dhcp server
| |
| 20:58 | <lifeboy> Can't I don't have the hardware. Only Mobo, with onboard NIC, display and RAM...

| 21:01 | <vagrantc> unkmar: are you still trying to do the kiosk setup? that wouldn't be persistant
| |
| 21:02 | unkmar: you'd need to do fat clients to get homedir persistance
| |
| 21:02 | unkmar: and then you'd need accounts on the server for each user
| |
| 21:02 | <lifeboy> Yes, 2 x USB + SDCard slot, but the clients are hundreds of kilometers away on a remote site :-( Not just a matter of plugging something in and testing it unfortunately. It will have to be something I change on the server to fix this.
| |
| 21:02 | Or I revert to an older version on isc-dhcp-server maybe?
| |
| 21:03 | Or will that create other problems?
| |
| 21:03 | <unkmar> vagrantc: yeah, I know. separate user accounts for persistance. They need a little different then I was originally told. Not that I'm surprised. :)
| |
| 21:03 | vagrantc: what is different in my setup process to do fat clients?
| |
| 21:04 | <lifeboy> alkisg: Will I create other problems if I try to revert to a v3 dhcp server?
| |
| 21:04 | <vagrantc> unkmar: create user accounts on the server for each user, and LTSP_FATCLIENT=true in lts.conf
| |
| 21:04 | unkmar: users need to be able to ssh into the server

| |
| 21:05 | <vagrantc> unkmar: if i remember correctly, you had a lot of ram on your clients ... they should automatically set up as fat clients if you have any desktop sessions installed in the chroot
| |
| 21:06 | <lifeboy> askisg: I could switch to dnsmasq. I suppose there is a writeup somewhere? I'll google...
| |
| 21:06 | <vagrantc> unkmar: and lts.conf can either be in /opt/ltsp/<arch>/etc/lts.conf or <tftpdir>/ltsp/<arch>/lts.conf
| |
| 21:06 | unkmar: you might have both /srv/tftp and /var/lib/tftpboot ... but your tftp server likely only uses one of them.
| |
| 21:07 | <unkmar> do I need to rebuild or restart something? guessin yes. :/
| |
| 21:07 | <vagrantc> unkmar: shouldn't need to
| |

| |
| 21:27 | I trust that he knows enough now to avoid breaking things.

| 21:32 | <vagrantc> warren: i think you should grant Enslaver commit access, for what it's worth
| |
| 21:32 | <warren> vagrantc: i don't think I have access to grant
| |
| 21:33 | I've been away for so long, my account shouldn't have that kind of power if I do.
| |
| 21:33 | * vagrantc never really understood launchpad well | |
| 21:33 | <warren> but I looked in launchpad just now, I'm "Approved" not "Administrator"

| 23:25 | <sbalneav> warren: Fine by me
| |
| 23:26 | +1 for Enslaver
| |
| 23:28 | <warren> sbalneav: Idon't have access to grant it
| |
| 23:30 | <sbalneav> LOL, not sure I do either.
| |
| 23:30 | I know it was discussed at the last meeting.
| |
| 23:30 | vagrantc: you and alkisg ok?
| |
| 23:32 | lemme see if I can figgure this out...
| |
| 23:38 | warren: or Enslaver
| |
| 23:38 | What's yer launchpad id
| |
| 23:38 | <vagrantc> sbalneav: i've been nudging for Enslaver to get commit access for a while now...
| |
| 23:38 | <sbalneav> I'll give it to him right now.
| |
| 23:39 | I just need to know his launchpad id
| |
| 23:39 | vagrantc: You need to be far less nudgy and far more sledge-hammery.
| |
| 23:39 | You've met me.
| |
| 23:40 | You should know subtlety isn't my forte :D

| 23:45 | <sbalneav> Bada-bing, bada-boom.
| |
| 23:45 | Try that.
| |
| 23:46 | Enslaver, warren, vagrantc: The deed is done. This contract is sealed.
| |
| 23:47 | * sbalneav vanished is a puff of sulpherous smoke | |
| 23:47 | <sbalneav> vanishes in a rats
| |
| 23:47 | Spoiled my dramatic exit.
| |
| 23:47 | Gotta take my kid somewhere, back in a bit.
| |
| 23:51 | * jammcq missed all the fun :( | |
| 23:55 | <warren> Enslaver: there you go
| |
| 23:56 | Enslaver: I'll have a little time to review your changes in ~2 weeks, but that's probably too long to wait.
